Chilcomb House

Open by appointment only Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm.

Chilcomb House is home to Hampshire's special collections of Archaeology, Arts, Natural Sciences and Social & Industrial History. Hundreds of thousands of objects are cared for by a team of staff who prepare many of them for displays and exhibitions at community museums, discovery centres and other venues across Hampshire.

The collections are accessible to individuals for research and in a more limited way to groups and societies, by prior appointment with a member of the collections staff. Staff based at Chilcomb work across a network of museums and historic sites across the county, some in partnership with District Councils, as well as supporting and advising many independent museums.
